"Song of the Winter Throne" is OUT NOW!
Clive Nolan’s new musical story takes listeners into a dark world inspired by the raw beauty of Norway, ancient legends and the history of a kingdom facing an imminent threat.
Power, survival and human choices meet Nolan’s distinctive melodies, creating a darker, more dramatic and ambitious musical journey.
The album is available in CD, 2LP and exclusive Earbook editions. The Earbook includes a 36-page book, 2 CDs featuring bonus material and the DVD Forging The Winter Throne: The Making Of The Album.

Music at the Mead Hall 5: "Raiders of the Walled Garden"!
Clive: "What a weekend! ‘Raiders of the Walled Garden’, Music at the Mead Hall 5 is over, and I really don't know where to begin.
First and foremost, thank you to everyone who came. Seeing you all throw yourselves into the music, the events (especially the Grail Hunt!) and all the little details we put together makes the huge amount of work worthwhile. Your support is literally what keeps this thing going.
A massive thank you to the incredible crew, who built, carried, cooked, sold, served, poured, organised, improvised, and kept the whole strange machine running. From the rickety bridge and rolling boulder to the archaeological dig (special thanks to Natalie Barnett and Ryan Morgan for all this stuff!), the bar, the food and everything in between, you were magnificent.
We had some fascinating talks and presentations (thanks Robert Cleary and Jennifer Cleary, Mark Olly and Neil Monaghan), some splendid Viking action from the Black Crow Historical Society, and more music than was probably sensible. What a pleasure it was to sit on stage with Dr Christopher Monk and Professor Magdalena Grabias to discuss working with old languages for my two ‘Viking albums’.
Huge thanks to all the performers. Christina Booth and the Magenta guys, Pendragon Semi-Skimmed, Peter Jones, and Gemma Edwards (Ashley), and of course, for the big performances of ‘Song of the Wildlands’ and ‘Song of the Winter Throne’. Deep gratitude to our soloists and the wonderful Caamora Norway chorus (thank you Morten L Clason!) who brought it all to life. Special mention must go to the birthday girl Elise Clason who provided the dancing sequences in these shows – that was a touch of magic.
One of my favourite moments has to be the Saturday encore, with the Black Crow Vikings marching in, everyone joining in, and that glorious guard of honour outside the Mead Hall. Just perfect!
And thanks to everyone who stayed for the Sunday Witan. Really valuable, really warm, and a lovely way to bring everything down gently. There are so many names I should include in this message, but you know who you are, and I hope you know how much I appreciate your involvement.
Thank you all, for another amazing weekend!"

"The Mortal Light" Is Out Now!
The adventures of Professor Samuel King continue… This time he is coming to Norway!
‘The Mortal Light’ is the third musical in the ‘Alchemy’ series. It chronicles the ongoing journey of King and his friends as they navigate the dangers and challenges of this colourful Steampunk Victorian ‘Universe’. We welcome back old allies, and indeed, old enemies as King faces his biggest threat yet… Makaria, a malevolent demigod, who resides in the farthest reaches of Hamningberg, in Norway. Let the creator of these musicals, Clive Nolan, take you on the biggest rollercoaster yet… through the mirky tunnels under London, to the desolate Land of the Dead… from storm ravaged seas to dangerous and hostile harbours… from the Witches of Vardø to the mighty fortress of Makaria herself, and her final meeting with Professor King! Allow the masterful and exhilarating music to sweep you up from the first second to the last…
Clive Nolan: “This musical has been five years in the making! From conception, through the writing and recording to finally being released, I have grown ever closer to the characters I created. It’s time they were heard again! I hope you enjoy this latest outing for Professor King and his colourful associates!”
